Character Sheet for BWTC32Key-gwiha

Nickname(s)

Bek

Sex/Gender

Polygender Nonbinary Salmacian

Species

Bulgae (Korean Fire Dog) and OS-tan (technically app-gwiha, an anthro nonbinary computer program)

Age

Born September 2nd, 1985

Character Description

This character is a special type of OS-tan, except that they are Korean, enby, not an OS but an app (so an app-gwiha), and I have provided their fursona too so they can go on this site because of the cool refsheet features. ALL lore comes from technical details of the code. They are what happens when you anthro your computer programs and do so in a thought-out way.

Personality

Eccentric, hyperverbal, jack-of-all-trades

Likes/Dislikes

Likes UTF16(BE), redundant data, xclip, xsel, ASCII passwords, Unicode support. Hates UTF8, UTF32, UTF-EBCDIC, ASCII, Unicode passwords, LMBCS, GB18030, and such.

Background/History

So this is a computer program of mine that I decided to make the Korean enby non-OS equivalent (app-Gwiha) of an OS-tan for but well-researched and based on technical details of the code. Making your file compression programs into anime-style characters and anthros is humorous. The character art was done via TFDNE and TWDNE to fit the technical spirit, for the same reason I used a pixel font. I used Pixlr E to assemble the images. Some parts of the character lore are accidentally similar to my own.

Relatives/Family

Firefox-tan, Opera-tan, Chromium-tan

World/Setting

The digital domain of OS-tans, which are anthropomorphic OS software.

Body

Body shape: Canine for the furry, humanoid for the app-gwiha. Hair and fur: brown. Eye color: brown. Has an androgynous appearance.

Clothing

Feminine business suit.

Accessories

Scarf on suit

Oh this is an interesting one. This is an anthromorphic version of an interesting multipurpose computer program I wrote (BWTC32Key Here or Here) in the style of an OS-tan. OS-tans are something even Microsoft picked up on, but OS-tans don't exclusively involve OS choices. Microsoft at one point did an Internet Explorer OS-tan. This however is a rather interesting one. Due to complicated technical reasons, this program is nonbinary, salmacian, and Korean. Thus the proper term is BWTC32Key-gwiha rather than BWTC32Key-tan and they use they/them and ᵺ㏟ pronouns (explained here: at this link).

Here's why: BWTC32Key's output is not binary (it's Base32768, while binary is Base2, and the 32768 characters used ALL derive from the Hangul Syllables and CJK Unified Ideographs+ExtensionA blocks in Unicode Plane0, which in UTF16 take up exactly 16 bits. Base32768 stores 15 bits of data in one of those characters.), Korean due to their use of Hangul and Hanja (Korean Mixed Script, known as Hanja-honyong in Korea), and are salmacian due to the fact that if you feed the program a blank input file and leave the password box untouched (disabling encryption), you get 9 UTF16BE characters that when grouped into a byte string and then split into groups of 3 bytes (like RGB colors rather than the 2 byte groups of UTF16), you get 6 colors that when laid out in Lunapic's flag maker as horizontal bars, you get a flag with the same colors as the Salmacian flag that is more recent, with accidental visual similarities to the structure of the transgender flag save for the top bar, which is sorta like how salmacian is beyond binary transition (long story). The name Bek comes from the B3K file extension I gave the format after being de-leetspeaked, and B3K comes from BWTC, 32, and Key (so it takes the 3 parts of the name and turns it into an 8.3 filename safe extension. BWTC stands for Burrows-Wheeler Transform Compressor, and 32Key refers to the Base32768 {the B in BWTC stands in for Base, since people have written Base64 as B64. #B32768 as an RGB value is just a different shade of the opaque (no-1D) version of the color #DF337A1D, which is the hexadecimal values of my they/them shorthand ᵺ㏟ mentioned earlier stored in Little-Endian as used by x86 and ARM among other CPU architectures. The birthday of September 2nd, 1985 also comes from the shorthand (U+1D7A & U+33DF) joined to $1D7A33DF but then converted to decimal and treated as a Unix timestamp.}). The Blood Type of B is a reference to B, as is the Eye Color, and the height (16 decimeters/5'2") and weight (15 stone/210 lbs) refer to the 15/16ths efficiency of Base32768, and the species of Bulgae is a Korean dog breed that was devised to mimic the historic Korean mythical Fire Dog of the same name, and was referenced by B. The bi orientation also references B, and the Enneagram Type 9 references the 9 characters BWTC32Key outputs by default. In fitting with this being an anthro computer program, I used TFDNE and TWDNE to generate the images after tons of hours. I used Pixlr E to assemble the images and used my custom GNU Unifont version mentioned in another submission for the purposes of this. Since BWTC32Key's output is Hanja-honyong made from the data that goes into them, it means that BWTC32Key is a technical writer.

In short, I did TONS of research when devising the sheet for this, such as finding Korean honorifics, finding pictures of the Korean Bulgae Fire Dog, and so many other things. Oh the wonders of being a bored neurodiverse techie furry with an inquisitive nature.

This Fursona Does Not Exist (StyleGAN2 https://thisfursonadoesnotexist.com/, trained from was used for the furry portrait, on a seed of 34366, which was trained from 55K worksafe furry images, and This Waifu Does Not Exist https://www.thiswaifudoesnotexist.net/ was used for the non-fur portrait, which does not have a seed and I don't know what it is trained on.)
